about vim who developed vim vim authors

from the manpage:

AUTHOR

Most of Vim was made by Bram Moolenaar (R.I.P 2023), with a lot of help from others. See “:help credits” in Vim.
Vim is based on Stevie, worked on by: Tim Thompson, Tony Andrews and G.R. (Fred) Walter. Although hardly any of the original code remains.

:help credits

Most of Vim was created by Bram Moolenaar <Bram ÄT vim DOOOT org>.

Parts of the documentation come from several Vi manuals, written by:

  • W.N. Joy
  • Alan P.W. Hewett
  • Mark Horton

The Vim editor is based on Stevie and includes (ideas from) other software, worked on by the people mentioned here. Other people helped by sending me (Bram Moolenaar) patches, suggestions and giving feedback about what is good and bad in Vim.

Vim would never have become what it is now, without the help of these people!
